In 2005/2006 I brought it into Rolex for servicing. The kind lady at the reception desk said the lume is no longer strong and suggested a dial replacement. I concurred. The lume had faded. Couldn't really read it in the dark. Many years later after joining this site I realized I have committed a major sin. Adam eating that apple was not so bad compared to this. I'm ok with it, but people are still horrified (the dial, not Adam and that apple).
